memory

@claude-flow/memory

High-performance memory module for Claude Flow V3 - AgentDB unification, HNSW indexing, vector search, and hybrid SQLite+AgentDB backend (ADR-009).

Features

• 150x-12,500x Faster Search - HNSW (Hierarchical Navigable Small World) vector index for ultra-fast similarity search
• Hybrid Backend - SQLite for structured data + AgentDB for vectors (ADR-009)
• Vector Quantization - Binary, scalar, and product quantization for 4-32x memory reduction
• Multiple Distance Metrics - Cosine, Euclidean, dot product, and Manhattan distance
• Query Builder - Fluent API for building complex memory queries
• Cache Manager - LRU caching with configurable size and TTL
• Migration Tools - Seamless migration from V2 memory systems

Installation

npm install @claude-flow/memory

Quick Start

import { HNSWIndex, AgentDBAdapter, CacheManager } from '@claude-flow/memory';

// Create HNSW index for vector search
const index = new HNSWIndex({
  dimensions: 1536,  // OpenAI embedding size
  M: 16,             // Max connections per node
  efConstruction: 200,
  metric: 'cosine'
});

// Add vectors
await index.addPoint('memory-1', new Float32Array(embedding));
await index.addPoint('memory-2', new Float32Array(embedding2));

// Search for similar vectors
const results = await index.search(queryVector, 10);
// [{ id: 'memory-1', distance: 0.05 }, { id: 'memory-2', distance: 0.12 }]

API Reference

HNSW Index

import { HNSWIndex } from '@claude-flow/memory';

const index = new HNSWIndex({
  dimensions: 1536,
  M: 16,                    // Max connections per layer
  efConstruction: 200,      // Construction-time search depth
  maxElements: 1000000,     // Max vectors
  metric: 'cosine',         // 'cosine' | 'euclidean' | 'dot' | 'manhattan'
  quantization: {           // Optional quantization
    type: 'scalar',         // 'binary' | 'scalar' | 'product'
    bits: 8
  }
});

// Add vectors
await index.addPoint(id: string, vector: Float32Array);

// Search
const results = await index.search(
  query: Float32Array,
  k: number,
  ef?: number  // Search-time depth (higher = more accurate)
);

// Search with filters
const filtered = await index.searchWithFilters(
  query,
  k,
  (id) => id.startsWith('session-')
);

// Remove vectors
await index.removePoint(id);

// Get statistics
const stats = index.getStats();
// { vectorCount, memoryUsage, avgSearchTime, compressionRatio }

AgentDB Adapter

import { AgentDBAdapter } from '@claude-flow/memory';

const adapter = new AgentDBAdapter({
  dimension: 1536,
  indexType: 'hnsw',
  metric: 'cosine',
  hnswM: 16,
  hnswEfConstruction: 200,
  enableCache: true,
  cacheSizeMb: 256
});

await adapter.initialize();

// Store memory
await adapter.store({
  id: 'mem-123',
  content: 'User prefers dark mode',
  embedding: vector,
  metadata: { type: 'preference', agentId: 'agent-1' }
});

// Semantic search
const memories = await adapter.search(queryVector, {
  limit: 10,
  threshold: 0.7,
  filter: { type: 'preference' }
});

// Cross-agent memory sharing
await adapter.enableCrossAgentSharing({
  shareTypes: ['patterns', 'preferences'],
  excludeTypes: ['secrets']
});

Cache Manager

import { CacheManager } from '@claude-flow/memory';

const cache = new CacheManager({
  maxSize: 1000,
  ttlMs: 3600000,  // 1 hour
  strategy: 'lru'
});

// Cache operations
cache.set('key', value);
const value = cache.get('key');
const exists = cache.has('key');
cache.delete('key');
cache.clear();

// Statistics
const stats = cache.getStats();
// { size, hits, misses, hitRate }

Query Builder

import { QueryBuilder } from '@claude-flow/memory';

const results = await new QueryBuilder()
  .semantic(queryVector)
  .where('agentId', '=', 'agent-1')
  .where('type', 'in', ['pattern', 'strategy'])
  .where('createdAt', '>', Date.now() - 86400000)
  .orderBy('relevance', 'desc')
  .limit(20)
  .execute();

Migration

import { MemoryMigration } from '@claude-flow/memory';

const migration = new MemoryMigration({
  source: './data/v2-memory.db',
  destination: './data/v3-memory.db'
});

// Dry run
const preview = await migration.preview();
console.log(`Will migrate ${preview.recordCount} records`);

// Execute migration
await migration.execute({
  batchSize: 1000,
  onProgress: (progress) => console.log(`${progress.percent}%`)
});
